2、ke the original,just like a play or a composition,nothing but ink on a page。 译者的问题在于他是一个没有舞台的表演者，一个表演要和原作一样的艺术家，正如演员之于剧本，歌手之于歌曲，演奏家之于乐谱，但他的表演只能是页面上的文字。 The biggest difference isnt really that the musician produces air movements while the translator produces yet more words;it is that a musical compos

5、stakes,work on a piecemeal basis,and accept bottom billing at best. 人们总认为他应该服从于作者，忠实于作者，不能犯错；在翻译时，他要一件一件来，论功行赏时，也要甘作末席。 He performs not with hopes of fame,fortune,or applause,but rather out of love,out of a sense of sharing what he loves and loving what he does。 译者翻译并非为追名逐利，或为了别人的赞许，而是出于爱，出于与人分享自己所爱
6、和爱自己所为的意识。 The true reason why we have so few versions which are tolerable(is that)there are so few who have all the talents which are requisite for translation,and that there is so little praise and so small encouragement for so considerable a part of learning。 我们之所以没有什么好作品可读，真正的原因，是因为具备完美译者条件的人太少了
7、，而且对这样重要的学问，也给予太少的赞美与鼓励。 Perhapsthe translators work is more subtle,more civilized than that of the writer:the translator clearly comes after the writer.Translation is a more advanced stage of civilization. 也许译者的工作比作家的工作更精细更文明：译者显然出现在作家之后。翻译是文明的一个更高级的阶段。 On the other hand,translators have been calle

11、ey for the plaintiffs called this second program an example ofshutting the barn door after the horse is out。 在接下来的一个星期, 又做了一次后续节目, 那位牛肉协会的代表也应邀参加了, 他进一步介绍了美国*已经采取的步骤, 确保牛肉的安全和人民的健康。然而, 一位原告律师把第二次节目说成是“马后炮”。 No doubt the major factor in the suit against Oprah Winfrey was the existence of a Texas law
12、that holds a person liable for falsely disparaging a“food product of agriculture or aquaculture that is sold or distributed in a form that will perish or delay beyond marketability within a limited period of time.” 毋庸置疑，使欧普拉温弗里受到指控的根本原因是得克萨斯州的一项法律。根据这项法律的描述，某些“农业或渔业产品, 它们的销售是有一定期限的, 超过期限便会死掉或变质。凡错误地
13、损毁这类产品名誉者，均要承担法律责任。” Agricultural organizations then began lobbying for legislation to protect perishable food products from libel and slander,just as individuals and brand name products are protected。 于是, 各农业组织开始游说活动, 以期有个立法, 如同保护个人和众多品牌一样, 来保护普通的易腐食品不至于被毁誉。 Instead, the suit had to proceed under c

16、rsibility,entropy has been called the arrow of time。 由于熵有令人气馁的不可逆性，因此它被称为时间之箭。 Entropy is no laughing matter,however,because with every increase in entropy energy is wasted and opportunity is lost。 然而，熵并不是开玩笑的事，因为每增加一分熵，就意味着能量的浪费和机会的丧失。 It is easy to see entropy in marriages,when the partners are to

18、it takes a lot of energy to produce a baby.It also takes energy to make a tree.The road to disorder is all downhill but the road to creation tales work。 引人深思的是需要大量的能量才能形成一个婴儿。种子长成大树也需要能量。通向混乱之路犹如走下坡道那样轻松，而通向创造之路却要付出劳动。 Thats why it seems so hard to get ourselves together,so easy to let ourselves fal
19、l apart。 这就是为什么我们要振作起来似乎非常困难，而放任自流却那么轻而易举。 Worse,creating order in one corner of the universe always creates more disorder somewhere else。而更糟糕的是，们们在宇宙的一个角落里建立秩序的同时，总是在另一地方造成了更多的混乱。 Like anything else,abilities deteriorate when we stop applying our energies to them。 我们的能力如同其他任何事情一样，如不花费精力加以运用，能力就会退化。
20、 There are so many more different ways to do a sloppy job than a good one,so many more ways to make a mess than to clean it up。 把一件事情办糟的方法比把它办好的方法多；把一件事搞得乱七八糟的办法比把它搞井井有条的办法更多。 If we were suddenly to see the paint jump back on an old building,we would know that something was wrong.If we saw an egg un
21、scramble itself and jump back into its shell,we would laugh at a movie run backward。 如果我们突然看到油漆又跃回旧楼房的墙面，我们准会感到有问题。如果我们看到一个鸡蛋自己拼凑在一起又跳回蛋壳，我们准会开怀大笑，就像看一组倒放的电影镜头那样。 Unit 6 Man cannot behold except he be committed.He cannot find himself without finding a center beyond himself。 人只有承担义务才能了解自我，只有找到一个超越自我以

At a time in life when values should be shaped and personal priorities sharply probed,what a tragedy it would be if the most deeply felt issues,the most haunting questions,
26、the most creative moments were pushed to the fringes of our institutional life。 在人生形成价值观，探索个人专长的时期，如果把感受最深的大事、最常萦绕心头的问题、最具创造性的时刻，挤到了我们学习生涯的次要地位，这是何等可悲！ But we are convinced that the undergraduate college,perhaps more than any other institution,is obliged to provide the enlightened leadership our nat

30、该促使学生从能力转向奉献。 Is it too much to expect that,even in this hard-edged,competitive age,a college graduate will love with integrity,civilityeven compassion?Is it appropriate to hope that the lessons learned in a liberal education will reveal themselves in the humaneness of the graduates relationship wit

The goal is not to indoctrinate students,but to set them free in the world of ideas and provide a climate in which ethical and moral choices can be thoughtfully examined,and convictions formed。 其目的不是要
32、向学生灌输什么，而是要把他们从许许多多杂乱无章的思想中解放出来，为他们提供一种氛围，让他们能够彻底检验自己在伦理及道德上的选择，从而形成自己的信念。 What we need today are groups of well-informed,caring individuals who band together in the spirit of community to learn from one another,to participate,as citizens,in the democratic process。 今天我们所需要的是大批消息灵通、关心他人的人士。作为公民，他们能团结

34、igorous study in the disciplines,but neither must specialization become an excuse to suspend judgment or diminish the search for purposeful life objectives。 种紧迫感并不取代对各门学科努力学习的需求，同样专业化也不能成为一个借口来终止判断，或减少对有意义的生活目标的探索。 But our abiding hope is that,with determination and effort,the undergraduate college can make a difference in the intellectual and personal lives of its graduates,in the social and civic responsibilities they are willing to assume,and ultimately in their world perspective。 但我们永恒的希望是，借助决心和努力，大学教育能在毕业生的智力开发及个人生活方面，在他们愿意承担的社会及公民义务方面，最终在世界观方面发挥作用。
